sechan19 | Geeking Out in Japanese.

This morning's exercise was practice at describing organization, with the intention of learning how to integrate words such as "consists of," "is comprised of," "is made up of," and so on. Rather than describe Japan's school system, standard company breakdown, or the political structure of the United States, I elected to describe how the X-MEN were organized in the early-mid 1990s (my personal comicbook reading era).

I explained how the group was split into two teams (blue and gold), each led by one commander (Cyclops and Storm) and comprised of 6 people. I also explained how all of these superheroes were under the direction of Professor X.

And then I somehow got into trying to explain how Psylocke used to be British, but then became Japanese due to a body switch after going through the Siege Perilous, and then ultimately had to battle the soul of her Japanese body, which had wound up in her old British body. And then I tried to explain how the British body died, and then eventually Psylocke died, but how they both came back after a while - although the British body died again recently.

Seriously, my Japanese is getting really good.
